i love what this video...

represents. it's about connectivity. it's that at least one person, thousands of miles apart from me, can relate to my individuality and be fascinated by the exact same things i am...like polaroids, vinyl toys or vintage tin signs. Todd Bieber, for example, finds a film canister in the middle of blizzard stricken NY and was allured not only by the black and white photographs that it carried, but also by its photographers (and there were plenty of somethings about those photos...they're like dreams really...that's how it felt looking at them). Todd felt as if he can go on adventures with these complete strangers if he met them, simply by their shot at the lens. that's magnetic...though it's not surprising at all being that "pictures are worth a thousand words"...and it's job is to draw in the viewer to relate with the picture or with the person who took it. this is really getting a glimpse of what people are about. doesn't matter who you are, what background you have or time zone you're from...there's this single strand in our system that craves to network, that magical thing we call CONNECTION. :) and if it takes putting on some old ski's, goin' out in a blizzard, and finding random objects to discover a kindred spirit, then so be it. after all, one man's lost treasure could be another man's new treasure, and that man is just waiting to return it to sender. :)

now i'm gonna go find myself a film canister :p
